Islamic State murders 76 with bomb at market in Baghdad Shi’ite neighborhood

Aug 14, 2015 12:17 pm By Robert Spencer

Baghdad bombing“The market in the Shi’ite neighborhood is one of the biggest in Baghdad selling wholesale food items. A Reuters witness at the site saw fruit and vegetables mixed with shrapnel littering the blood-soaked blast crater.” And the Islamic State jihadis were pleased with this act of piety and service to their god.

“Islamic State claims huge truck bomb attack in Baghdad’s Sadr City,” by Ahmed Rasheed, Reuters, August 13, 2015:

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – At least 76 people were killed and 212 wounded on Thursday in a blast claimed by Islamic State in Baghdad’s Sadr City, police and medical sources said, one of the biggest attacks on the capital since Haider al-Abadi became prime minister a year ago.

“A refrigerator truck packed with explosives blew up inside Jamila market at around 6 a.m. (0300 GMT),” police officer Muhsin al-Saedi said. “Many people were killed and body parts were thrown on top of nearby buildings.”

A statement circulated online by supporters of Islamic State said the blast had targeted what it called a stronghold of the “charlatan army” and Shi’ite Muslim militias.

The market in the Shi’ite neighborhood is one of the biggest in Baghdad selling wholesale food items. A Reuters witness at the site saw fruit and vegetables mixed with shrapnel littering the blood-soaked blast crater.

People gathering at the scene cried and shouted the names of missing relatives; others cursed the government.

“We hold the government responsible, fully responsible,” witness Ahmed Ali Ahmed said, calling on the authorities to dispatch the army and Shi’ite militias to man checkpoints in the capital….

      “A Reuters witness at the site saw fruit and vegetables mixed with shrapnel littering the blood-soaked blast crater.”

      To paraphrase Maggie, they’ll have trouble separating the vegetables from the vegetables.

      BtW, after rinsing, are the real vegetables still ‘halal’?

      Again, no word on who carried/moved the bomb into position & who detonated it …

      I hear crickets…..

      This from our State Department: “[t]he United States continues to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Iraqi people as they confront ISIL and the violence it represents.”

      Right, snicker, sure we do; our ‘shoulder’ is many miles away now….

    Dear Muslims
    This is why I don’t want you anywhere near me or my country. Your horrible religious ideology has turned your own countries into murderous hellholes, your coreligionists happily kill, maim, and murder without compassion or remorse. sunnis will cheerfully commit genocide on everyone not sunni and even murder fellow sunnis for the most minor variation of doctrine. Mob rule is the norm and the tendency to falsely accuse others (especially christian, coptics, atheists, etc ) of blasphemy to get them injured or killed so the accuser can steal the accused property is evident on a daily basis. Shi’as are no better and are happy to kill sunnis, alawites (shi’a military sect), salafists, sufis, et. al. All religions are flawed but islam is the only one that absolutely refuses to learn to co-exist with others. You are majority inbred-in some countries as high as 90% and have sub average and often sub normal I.Q.s overall. your inbreeding and intermarriage with close family members cause a 10 times higher birth defect rate than the rest of the world. You are 70% illiterate and can’t read or hold down a job (which is why 80% of muslims in the west are on welfare) and are incapable of learning. After 10 years of school in germany-70% still can’t read and function in civilized society. You have demonstrated worldwide than you are violent, intolerant, criminals, live in criminal gang families, rob, rape and murder indiscrimanately, commit violent incestuous rape of young boys and girls in your own families and then murder the victim to cover-up the crime.
    Somehow I’m supposed to accept that you are the “best of people” while you consider me and mine to be the “worst and most vile of creatures (not even people-just creatures) and accept you into my country and community?
    Don’t count on it!!!!

    Iran still refuses to accept who are is Its real enemy, Sunni or the Israeli. Sunni is more deadly than the other. So the final countdown is between Sunni vs Shiite in the ME.
